If you enjoy Bash's customization, You'll love Zsh's http://aperiodic.net/phil/prompt/ http://aperiodic.net/phil/prompt/ Once you go bash->zsh, there is no turning back.

Seconded. I stuck to bash for a long time, and I regret not changing to zsh much earlier. It's like bash in all the ways bash is good, but with extra excellence thrown in to the bargain.

I'd heard this many times, but for some reason your comment actually made me decide I should probably listen. Opened up zsh, and it throws me into a new-user setup thing, stepping me through a bunch of different configuration options. I'm impressed so far. :P

I'd have to rely on zsh being available everywhere: [rupert] ~$ uname -a SunOS rupert 5.11 NexentaOS_20081207 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris [rupert] ~$ sudo apt-get install zsh Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package zsh is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package zsh has no installation candidate
